Nobody wants to get a divorce, but sometimes, after you’ve given it your all to make it work, it’s just right for everyone. Although it’s a difficult time for all involved, sometimes the best thing to do is treat it as a new beginning, not an ending; put a positive spin on the situation if you can.
Recently, we’ve noticed a number of people doing just that, and to “celebrate” this fresh start, new divorcees are booking themselves a great big holiday to mark the occasion.
While the idea of a divorce-moon might sound strange to some, it could be the perfect way for you to get away from it all, recharge your batteries and come back to your life refreshed and ready to face the world again. Here are our tips for booking the perfect post-separation holiday.
Go somewhere you’ve never been before
Forget about the holiday resorts you always used to go to together, this is your chance to visit
It can be somewhere on the other side of the world, or a few hours’ flying time away, as long as you travel to a place that will make you happy, it doesn’t matter where you go!
With experience in over 50 destinations, we are certain we can find you the ideal place for a holiday.
Be adventurous
Look at countries and places you would have never even considered when you were a couple; exotic destinations with cultures wildly different from your own, scenic trips with a focus on the great outdoors – the world is your oyster (sorry, but it’s true!).
Whether Southeast Asia catches your eye or a trip to India has really evoked your curiosity, we have experts for so many destinations that will take good care of you.
Know what you want
The key to any holiday is knowing what you want to get out of it beforehand; this is even more vital after something as life changing as a divorce. Think to yourself, “what helps me relax?” and go from there. You might be the type that needs the a long, sandy golden beach to unwind.
Perhaps a trip filled with jungle treks and rewarding hikes is more you. Maybe you want a combination, and that’s fine too. With us, you don’t have to just stick to one destination, you can try as many as you have time for.
Don’t limit yourself
Confining yourself to one place is a good way to leave you dwelling on the past, and that’s not what we want. With a multi-centre holiday, you can visit a number of different places and really
Our most popular trips include Thailand, Vietnam, the US and Malaysia, but we have so many more fantastic destinations on offer as well. We can also be flexible with the places you visit on holiday (as long as feasible travel options are available), so if there’s somewhere you really want to go on a trip, just ask and we’ll see what we can do.
Travel with friends
Good friends are essential for getting over any of life’s obstacles, so why not organise a big trip and go away with some of your nearest and dearest? Even if you only have a week to play with, you can still have a great time abroad

As always, Chris was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave me good advice on my travel plans and booked the holiday on my behalf. I've used eshores a number of times, and will continue to do so.

We haven’t been on our trip yet but based purely on the experience of booking the trip we are pleased with the result. It started with a bit of a hiccup as we spoke to a member of staff who never came back to us but when we reached back out again we were placed in the hands of Andy who has helped us book a 2 week trip to India including the golden triangle and then a few days on the beach. Andy was very patient with us with our changes to our tailor made holiday, even when we asked him to explore different areas only to revert back to the original plan. He also recommended moving the holiday back one week which created a saving of over £700 which meant we could upgrade the room for our beach stay in Goa. Andy was also available on weekends if we wanted to speak and regularly picked up the phone as opposed to keeping it to purely email dialogue. Hopefully the holiday will be amazing but based on the booking experience I would recommend eShores if you’re looking to book a tailor made holiday

We have booked two big holidays this year for a group of 8 and a group of 10, Rachel has coordinated our holidays with the utmost excellence, during the consultation we changed countires hotels and even flights but it did not phase Rachel one bit. Exceeds customer expectations by helping advising and supporting throughout the holiday. We are off to Thailand and Dubai in August and then followed by India and Thailand in November, I have rang emailed Rachel many times during the booking and I got very prompt responses even on her days off. Rachel is a credit to EShores and EShores is setting standards regarding customer focus.

I can’t praise Lynette at EShores enough. She has organised my trips perfectly to the point that I wouldn’t use anyone else. She listens to what I want or to the problem I have and comes up with a solution. Nothing is too much trouble. Try them out yourselves and I bet you become a repeater too!
